Patent number: 9752523Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided. A controller is programmed to perform correction amount guard control allowing adjustment of a correction amount by setting a limit on the correction amount when an appearance frequency of a state where an output value from a downstream sensor is leaner than a predetermined value is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.
